The Fulfllment of Prophecy.

Sunday Erening Bible Headings
contains the following highly impress.
sive instances of the fulfilment Of
prophecy in Daniel xii, 4, etc. OF the
increase of knowledge it is said:
Only eighty-five years ago, in the
year 1o0l, the first religious newspaper
in the world was published in Forts
mouth n. H. Now, millions of such
ledge go forth weekly to enlighten
every part of the world.
A little more than one hundred years
ago there was not Sunday school in
the world, the first one being organized
by Robert Raikes, at Gloucester Eng
land in 1874. Now, every town and
almost every neighborhood has its
Sunday school, where the knowledge
of the Bible is taught.
But if we turn our eyes toward the
development of arts and sciences with
in the last hundred years We behold an
equally wonderful increase of know
ledge in this direction.
Would people now think they could
do without such conveniences as
matches, steel pens. cooking stoves, oil
lamps, sewing machines, farm machine
ry, railroads, telegraph, telephone,
electric lights, etc. ? And yet, less than
hundred years ago none of these
things were in existence.
The prophecy states that in the time
of the cad. many shall run to and fro. =
Do we not see a fulfilment of this
Who can visit any of our great railroad
centers and view the throngs of people
without contrasting the present with
the past? At the Grand Central depot
in New York city 165 trains arrive and
leave daily.
A little over sixty years ago such q
mode of travel was unknown, but God,
who alone can lift the curtain of the
future, revealed to the prophet Nahum
that in the "day of His preparation" the
chariots shall be with flaming torches
referring to the appearance of train
as it approaches, on dark night.
"The chariots shall rage in the
streets" More forcible language could
not be used to describe train of cars
as it passes.
They shall seem like torches, they
shall run like lightning"
1t would almost seem as though the
names of some of our railroad trains
had been borrowed from the language
of this prophecy. For instance, "the
lightning express" the cannon ball
train" etc.
"He shall recount his worthless" The
conductor goes through the train after
passing ca n station and "recounts"
the passengers.
"Ihey shall stumble in their walk. p"
The cars are the only vehicle in which
persons walk while riding.
For the above prophetic description
see Nahum ii, 3-5.
The Lord in conyersing with Job
made unmistakable reference to the
telegraph.
"Canst thou send the lightnings, that
they may go, and say unto thee, here
we are?"-Job xxxviii, 80.
This question can now most certain
ly be answered in the affirmative by the
telegraph operator, who can employ
the lightning in sending message to
and getting a response from the most
distant part of the world in few Sec
onds of time.

right understanding of these things,

observing that the young people
were constantly in each Others company,
reading, drawing, walking, and together at
the piano. For one month, to speak PIE

foolishness surviving marriage.
"Or,. certainly, the appearance of the
first baby" ventured to remark. My sis

and said that if there was nothing more
against Mr.. Wager than what she had
heard, she would be willing to take the
risk.
And so, with everything seemingly fair
about these beautiful young lives, what
was to come to shadow them? What was
to bring misery, doubt, and estrangement
between them?
Gradually, almost imperceptibly. as the
middle of April came, Raymonds demeanor

A RATHER comical adventure befell
two very stylish young American mar
ried ladies recently on the boulevard
in Paris. They set out to take stroll
and look at the shops, and while slowly
making their way along the crowded
thoroughfare they were struck by the
amount of attention that they excited.
People stopped and gazed at them,
murmurs of appreciation followed
them, and altogether they felt them
selves the success of the afternoon.
Suddenly one of them CHANGED to look
around and realized the situation.
Good gracious, Kitty" she gasped,
I'VE are walking between two of the
sandwich men of the Paris Casino-we
are being taken for advertising women!"
The sudden way in which my pref
ty young countrywomen disappeared
down the nearest side street can better
be imagined than described.
THE grandfather of the Hon. Hanni-
bal Hsmlin had seventeen children.
The eldest sons were named, re-
spectively, Europa, Asia, Africa, and
America; Asia died an infant and the
fifth son was named Asia. Then fol.

Der Of seventeen, by two wives, and a
third wife was a widow with two chill.
dren. Europa settled in New Hamp-
shire, Asia in Massachusetts,, America
and Africa in Maine, as did Cyrus,
Senator Hamlin's father. This Cyrus
had a twin brother, Hannibal. The
former named son Hannibal, the Sen.
ator, and the latter named son Cyrus,
the distinguished missionary and phi.
lanthropist, so many years in Turkey.
Senator Hamlin's father had seven
children: Elijah, Cyrus, Eliza, Annie,
Vesta, Hannibal, and Hannah. Han
inibal is the only survivor of the family,
but still in full vigor of mind and body
at the age of nearly 70.

After these extraordinary scenes, all of
which she had witnessed, my sister began
to entertain some doubts about the pru-
dence of such marriage, and even mildly
demonstrated with Jeanne. She might as
we'll have saved her breath. The girl was
wholly devoted to him; his unaccountable
sufferings only increased her attachment.
twill you consent to it," my sister asked
me, with such trouble in her voice as had
not observed since her husband died.
"What can do?" was my reply. Events
have shaped themselves since Raymond
came here; there has been no time since
that Sunday that either of lis could have
proftably interfered. Like you, Think of
them as man and wife with rare misgiv-
ings; but can dare the consequences to
either of them which a separation would
bring? No; it must go on"
And it did 60 on. They were married in
September; and am bound to reveal that
both appeared perfectly happy, that Ray
mond was as bright and winning as at the
first moment 1 saw him. and that the
spirits of my sister and myself leaped up
gladly.
Circumstances which are unnecessary to
be repeated here determined that the home
of these young people should be in Phila-
delphia. The earnest desire of both, as
well as her own preference, made my sister
member of their household; and the
great burden was laid upon me of ind
ing another housekeeper. lneApressibly
